Come visualizzare una finestra di dialogo di stampa (WPF .NET)

Si vuole stampare dall'applicazione? È possibile utilizzare la PrintDialog classe per aprire una finestra di dialogo di stampa standard di Microsoft Windows. Ecco come.

Importante

La documentazione di Desktop Guide per .NET 7 e .NET 6 è in fase di costruzione.

Nota

Il System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog controllo usato per WPF e illustrato qui non deve essere confuso con il System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog componente di Windows Form.

La PrintDialog classe fornisce un singolo controllo per la configurazione di stampa e l'invio di processi di stampa. Il controllo è facile da usare e può essere creata un'istanza usando markup XAML o codice. Gli esempi seguenti creano e visualizzano un'istanza PrintDialog usando il codice .

È possibile utilizzare la finestra di dialogo stampa per configurare le opzioni di stampa, ad esempio:

  • Stampare solo un intervallo specifico di pagine.
  • Selezionare le stampanti installate nel computer. È possibile usare l'opzione Microsoft XPS Document Writer per creare questi tipi di documento:
    • XML Paper Specification (XPS)
    • Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS)

In questo esempio vengono stampate tutte le pagine di un documento XPS. Per impostazione predefinita, il codice sarà:

  1. Aprire una finestra di dialogo di stampa che richiede all'utente di selezionare una stampante e avviare un processo di stampa.
  2. Creare un'istanza di un XpsDocument oggetto con il contenuto del documento XPS.
  3. Utilizzare l'oggetto XpsDocument per generare un DocumentPaginator oggetto contenente tutte le pagine del documento XPS.
  4. Chiamare il PrintDocument metodo , passando l'oggetto DocumentPaginator , per inviare tutte le pagine alla stampante specificata.
/// <summary>
/// Print all pages of an XPS document.
/// Optionally, hide the print dialog window.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="xpsFilePath">Path to source XPS file</param>
/// <param name="hidePrintDialog">Whether to hide the print dialog window (shown by default)</param>
/// <returns>Whether the document printed</returns>
public static bool PrintWholeDocument(string xpsFilePath, bool hidePrintDialog = false)
{
    // Create the print dialog object and set options.
    PrintDialog printDialog = new();

    if (!hidePrintDialog)
    {
        // Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        bool? isPrinted = printDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (isPrinted != true)
            return false;
    }

    // Print the whole document.
    try
    {
        // Open the selected document.
        XpsDocument xpsDocument = new(xpsFilePath, FileAccess.Read);

        // Get a fixed document sequence for the selected document.
        FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocSeq = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence();

        // Create a paginator for all pages in the selected document.
        DocumentPaginator docPaginator = fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator;

        // Print to a new file.
        printDialog.PrintDocument(docPaginator, $"Printing {Path.GetFileName(xpsFilePath)}");

        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.Message);

        return false;
    }

Public Shared Function PrintWholeDocument(xpsFilePath As String, Optional hidePrintDialog As Boolean = False) As Boolean

    ' Create the print dialog object and set options.
    Dim printDialog As New PrintDialog

    If Not hidePrintDialog Then

        ' Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        Dim isPrinted As Boolean? = printDialog.ShowDialog()
        If isPrinted <> True Then Return False

    End If

    ' Print the whole document.
    Try

        ' Open the selected document.
        Dim xpsDocument As New XpsDocument(xpsFilePath, FileAccess.Read)

        ' Get a fixed document sequence for the selected document.
        Dim fixedDocSeq As FixedDocumentSequence = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence()

        ' Create a paginator for all pages in the selected document.
        Dim docPaginator As DocumentPaginator = fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator

        ' Print to a new file.
        printDialog.PrintDocument(docPaginator, $"Printing {Path.GetFileName(xpsFilePath)}")

        Return True

End Function

A volte si desidera stampare solo un intervallo specifico di pagine all'interno di un documento XPS. A tale scopo, si estende la classe astratta DocumentPaginator per aggiungere il supporto per gli intervalli di pagine. Per impostazione predefinita, il codice sarà:

  1. Aprire una finestra di dialogo di stampa che richiede all'utente di selezionare una stampante, specificare un intervallo di pagine e avviare un processo di stampa.
  2. Creare un'istanza di un XpsDocument oggetto con il contenuto del documento XPS.
  3. Utilizzare l'oggetto XpsDocument per generare un oggetto predefinito DocumentPaginator che contiene tutte le pagine del documento XPS.
  4. Creare un'istanza di una classe estesa DocumentPaginator che supporta gli intervalli di pagine, passando l'oggetto predefinito DocumentPaginator e lo PageRange struct restituito da PrintDialog.
  5. Chiamare il PrintDocument metodo , passando l'istanza della classe estesa DocumentPaginator , per inviare l'intervallo di pagine specificato alla stampante specificata.

Suggerimento

Sebbene sia possibile utilizzare il PrintDocument metodo per stampare senza aprire la finestra di dialogo di stampa, per motivi di prestazioni è preferibile usare il AddJob metodo o uno dei molti Write metodi e WriteAsync di XpsDocumentWriter. Per altre informazioni, vedere Come stampare un file XPS e la panoramica dei documenti di stampa.
